Acting Assistant Minister for Consular Affairs Ambassador Aca Jovanovic presented an exequatur to Branko Celeketic, Honorary Consul of the Republic of Zambia to the Republic of Serbia, with the seat in Belgrade, on 1 June 2018. By receiving the exequatur at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Celeketic has been authorized to exercise his functions in the territory of the Republic of Serbia.
On the occasion, the two interlocutors discussed the relations between the Republic of Serbia and the Republic of Zambia, which were assessed as good. The opening of Zambia's consulate in Belgrade, headed by an Honorary Consul, will help the two countries' all-round cooperation to intensify and expand, especially in the areas of economic cooperation, investment, tourism and education, among others. The launch of the Zambian Consulate's work in Belgrade will help improve the quality of consular protection and the two countries' cooperation.
